Alpine’s upcoming electric crossover will be called the GT X-Over and will enter production in 2025 at the firm’s Dieppe plant. The marque, a Renault subdivision, is desperate to stay relevant in the electric era and, like Lotus, is looking to diversify from small petrol sports cars into more mainstream electric vehicles.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The GT X-Over will be based off the same architecture as the Renault M\u00e9gane E-Tech Electric<\/a> and will be the first of three all-electric vehicles that will transform Alpine into an EV-only brand. It will feature the M\u00e9gane E-Tech Electric’s single 215 bhp motor at the front but “will have a big surprise” at the rear. Hence it will likely be AWD and have over 430 bhp.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A performance-oriented crossover aimed at the more premium end of the market, the GT X-Over should go toe-to-toe with the upcoming Porsche Macan EV<\/a> as well as the Tesla Model Y Performance<\/a> and Ford Mustang Mach-E GT<\/a>. Given Renault as a whole have no plans to re-enter the US market, the odds of any of Alpine’s sporty EVs reaching North American shores are slim.<\/p>\n

Alpine’s Dieppe factory is undergoing a major transformation to prepare it for the electric era, and has been renamed the\u00a0Manufacture Alpine Dieppe Jean R\u00e9d\u00e9l\u00e9 – in honor of the man who founded the brand in 1955, some 20 years before it was sold on to Renault.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo had the following to say:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cOver the past 12 months, Alpine has succeeded in setting a new dynamic in motion and upholding its commitments. It can be seen today in Dieppe, where the future GT Alpine X-Over will be made, thus giving a clear vision of the future and solid prospects for the historic, industrial site.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Alpine’s ambition must remain high, where only the most passionate strive to be, those driven by the quest to attain perfection. This level of excellence must be like oxygen for Alpine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
